Answer options

• A. How quickly an Amazon EC2 instance can be restarted

• D. The pay-as-you-go billing model
• E. How easily resources can be procured when they are needed

Correct answer: B, E

Explanation

The correct answers are B and E because elasticity in the AWS Cloud refers to the capability to scale resources up or down based on demand (B) and the convenience of obtaining resources as needed (E). Options A and C do not relate to elasticity; A focuses on instance restart time, and C pertains to resource limits rather than their adaptability.
